Stainless Steel Bar Supplier

stainless steel grades and applications

With robust strength and corrosion resistance in a lightweight package, the stainless steel bar is one of the world’s most widely utilized materials for construction and manufacturing purposes. Texas Alloys & Tool supplies this metal alloy in a variety of grades, profiles, sizes, and lengths.  

Benefits of Stainless Steel Bar

Stainless steel bar is an iron-and-chromium alloy that contains at least 10.5 percent chromium by weight. The exact amount of chromium differs based on the grade requested and its intended use. 

The chromium content enables a tough and invisible corrosion-resisting oxide film to develop on the material’s surface. While performance characteristics vary by grade, here are common attributes of stainless steel bar.

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Fire and heat resistance
  • Easy to clean
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Easy to fabricate
  • Exceptional aesthetic value
  • Recyclable

Stainless Steel Bar Uses 

Stainless steel bar is incredibly sturdy and durable. It’s ideal for enduring weight, corrosive environments, extreme temperatures, and harsh weather conditions. Typical uses for stainless steel bar include: 

  • Architecture
  • Oil & Gas
  • Machine Shops
  • Metal Fabricators
  • Power Plants
  • Maintenance Departments 
  • Food Processing
  • Power Generation
  • Aerospace

Your Stainless Steel Bar Source 

Texas Alloys & Tool carries a wide range of stainless steel bar products to quickly and affordably meet client material needs. Whether you require round, flat, square, or hex shapes, we can deliver the stainless steel bar type to suit your project’s exact specifications. 

Stainless Steel Round Bars

A rod with a circle cross-section. It’s perfect for shipbuilding, defense, automotive, textile, paper and pulp, fabrication, cement, heavy equipment, and construction applications. Round bar can be threaded to make threaded shafts.

Stainless Steel Flat Bars

Stainless steel with a flat surface and rectangular face. It’s ideal for use as automobile components and construction braces, trim, supports, ductwork, and frames.

Stainless Steel Square Bars

A solid rod with the square cross-section. It’s widely used to fabricate framework, braces, trim, shafts, axles, fittings, instruments, gym equipment, awnings, and structures.

Stainless Steel Hex Bars

A hexagonal-shaped rod. It’s commonly manufactured into nuts, washers, fittings, screws, and fasteners. Additionally, stainless steel hex bars are ideal for use as support in construction and structural applications. 

A Wide Array of Grades 

At Texas Alloys & Tool, we understand that an application’s performance hinges upon the materials used in its construction or manufacture. That’s why we stock stainless steel bars in a variety of grades

Available Grades
Stainless Steel
303 Stainless Steel Type 303 is a non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel grade. It’s easy to fabricate and offers outstanding resistance to heat and oxidation when exposed to temperatures up to 760 degrees Celsius. Quote »
304/304L Stainless Steel The most common grade of stainless steel. It can develop high strength by cold working. Its primary benefit is corrosion resistance. Quote »
310 Stainless Steel A low-carbon austenitic stainless steel type. It has superb corrosion resistance and isn’t prone to thermal fatigue or cyclic heating. It exhibits good strength in temperatures up to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Quote »
316/316L Stainless Steel A stainless steel grade that features a heightened amount of molybdenum. It offers increased resistance to chloride corrosion. Quote »
Alloy 20 Stainless Steel Also called Carpenter® 20 and Incoloy® 20, this is an austenitic nickel-iron-chromium alloy. Performance characteristics include resistance to corrosion, crevice corrosion, and pitting. Quote »
416 Stainless Steel A highly machinable, low-cost martensitic stainless steel. It offers resistance to freshwater, acids, alkalis, and air. It’s less resistant to corrosion than austenitic steels. Quote »
440 Stainless Steel Type 440 Stainless Steel is a hardenable high-carbon chromium steel. It exhibits good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Quote »
630 Stainless Steel A corrosion-resistant stainless steel grade that’s magnetic and easily weldable. It loses some toughness at higher temperatures. Quote »
17-4 Stainless Steel 17-4 PH, also known as UNS S17400, is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel. It offers good corrosion resistance and high strength. Quote »
